All,

Similar thread to Rossco's engine build that he is doing, unlike Rossco my short motor is being built by MSR (Michael South Racing).

I am doing a 2.1 stroker using a closed deck early WRX block with the following goodies :

. Arias Pistons
. Argo Rods
. 2.5 Sti crank with MSR mod for better oiling
. ACL Race bearings
. MSR modified oil rings

The heads will also be done with :

. Brian Crower cams (copied Rossco)
. Spring and titanium retainer set
. Heads will be cleaned up also.

Will post pic's as it progresses.

cheers

Nice choice on the cams t'will make it sound porn.

What spring set did you end up going with?

I have gone for this set of springs/retainers.

Michael strongly suggested that I do not use the titanium retainers though!

Looking good Gav....I'll be using steel retainers too...

I'm starting to strip my car tomorrow....

Yep, Michael told me of examples with titanium retainers actually pulling through (whatever that means)..

Nice work Gav.
